30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 14 – Three Healthy Habits

Three healthy habits may be the hardest of these for me. I do want to develop healthier habits, but that’s neither here nor there. The fact is, 99.9% of my habits are atrocious. I’m a junk-food junkie, and while I’m not a couch potato per se, I am not well enough to get much exercise most of the time due to my COPD. I really need to find solutions. So if you’re reading this and have a COPD-friendly exercise plan, please leave a comment or contact me.

That being said, here are my current three healthiest habits.

Strawberry-banana smoothies (I add other ingredients, but they must not overpower the strawberry-banana flavor! I usually add turmeric and black pepper to activate the turmeric, honey, a bit of olive oil for an emulsifier, random juice or tea, sometimes vitamins or minerals, and then… sometimes I add all sorts of stuff like kale, avocado, other fruits including berries, carrots, etc.

Changing my clothes when they’re wet or dirty and not wearing the same clothing two days in a row – including nightgowns. It literally grosses me out to put a dirty shirt back on – especially after a shower.

Gargling with salt water twice daily. I started doing this when just rinsing with plain water was not sufficient after my Symbicort to avoid oral thrush. Ever since I rinse my mouth and gargle with salt water, I have not had another case of thrush. Yay, me! If you’ve ever HAD oral thrush, you’ll know that it’s quite painful and best avoided.
